As many probably already know, the Swedish black metal project known as Arckanum was discontinued in 2018. Arckanum was a solo-project of Shamatae active since 1992 and was known above all for the themes related to Chaos-Gnosticism, anti-cosmic Satanism and Norse mythology. Shamatae has in fact published several books on these subjects under the pseudonyms Vexior and Ekortu. In 2018 he decided to end his music project to focus on the literary career, but in 2019 a further album was released, Första Trulen, containing material recorded in 1994 that was supposed to be the demo Trulen; however, this material was never released, at least not until 2019. The primitive vein of this demo is evident, but I think it is idle to give a judgment on this album. I rather think we should see it as a last document, almost a legacy, left us by this wonderful and eerie band that has accompanied us for twenty-seven years.
